WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!WOW!!!
This recipe is Awsome..
The only thing that I did different was to Add 1 oz. of the Anise Extract.
We like our cookies a little stronger flavor...
My husband was eating them as fast as I could get them off the cookie sheet..
I frosted them with White Frosting from the can that I bought from the store and flavored it a little with the anise oil...
They were so good..
This is a keeper... I will be making these all the time.. They turn out so pretty.. They are going to look nice on a cookie try..
Thanks so much for sharing your recipe with us..
It's wonderful.
I can't wait to make a cup of tea and have cookie's..
